CITY CLINCH SIGNING OF DAVIDSON - By Steven Mew

Andy Kirk has completed his first signing as Brechin City Manager with the capture of former Raith Rovers skipper Iain Davidson.

The vastly experienced central defender arrives at Glebe Park for a second spell despite interest from other clubs in higher divisions.

'Davo' initially joined up at Glebe Park as a fresh faced youngster in the 2003/04 1st division season following his release from Sunderland. However his stay at City was short lived as he moved back down south, signing for Scarborough.

Returning north of the border a year later, Iain achieved legendary status at his hometown club Raith Rovers where he was captain over two spells, becoming only the third player in the history of the club to pass the 500 game mark. His 14 year service will be rewarded with a testimonial against Hibernian next month.

The two spells at the Kirkcaldy side sandwiched a three year stay at Dundee, where he notched 83 appearances for the Dens Park outfit.

In what will be seen as a real coup for the Club, naturally we are delighted to have Iain on board for the season ahead.
